From the King County Sheriff’s Office:

A “missing” SeaTac man has been found alive and well, living in another state.

Nicholas Francisco was last seen leaving his work on Feb. 13, 2008. He was supposedly heading home to bake cookies with his children. Francisco’s car was found a few days later abandoned in Federal Way.

The King County Sheriff’s Office did an extensive investigation to learn if he had been a victim of foul play. Nothing turned up. Last week, detectives developed information that he was in fact alive. He had changed his name and was living outside of Washington.

The investigation is now closed. To read the original report, click here.
